Seven Swords, Kurenai
"I... I'm glad to see you again, Juniper, but-" Kurenai said, as she struggled against Juniper's hug, not because of the looks some people were shooting at them, but because the fact that the other girl was crushing her lungs, causing Kurenai to feel like this really was a breath-taking reunion. As a side effect of it, Juniper would have the chance of feeling that Kurenai's left leg was unnaturally heavy as well, which probably meant that it was probably another prosthetic limb, covered by Kurenai's pantyhose.
"We should concentrate on ourselves for now, I find it doubtful that we will have to fight the others. There's no need to treat Gyuuki as if she wasn't a friend anymore." The red hooded girl said, not even believing at what was actually coming out of her lips. When did she began to think so much about friendship and things like this, anyway?
"Let's just try and find our teammates, eat something and get some rest, if what the demon said is true then we will need energy, because it looks like we'll be getting a practical training from the beginning." Before long, Kurenai would be trying to drag Juniper to the lunch hall and finding a two girls there, one of them gorging herself before anyone else could come, just as Kurenai thought that would happen if they weren't fast, and the other merely drinking a cup of water, no doubt after having stuffed herself full.
After getting herself some food and sitting across from the unknown girls, Kurenai began to eat in her quiet usual nature and beckoned Juniper to follow suit, just sparing the time to say, "I'm Kurenai, and this here is Juniper. We are looking for our last teammates, if you know of them, please tell us." Before digging in her own meal, the faint smile of satisfaction for finally getting a decent meal in days in her face would be visible only if someone paid a lot of attention to her movements.

The following day...
Once again the few students that kept on were gathered, in the entrance hall of the Academy, this time at a more appropriate time, just before the sunset. Hopefully they were rested and ready for their new beginning. On this most solemn occasion, Ellie was... behaving just as normal as her announcement would make evident.
Absinthe Red, Ellie B'herit
"Ahem!" Ellie cleared her throat loudly to gather everyone's attention, before continuing, "First, I'd like to say that this was supposed to be either Master's or Reiko's job to be here talking to you, but it turns out that Reiko is having, erm... girl problems and Master is still asleep. So, I gotta do their job... again."
"Either way, isn't it good that you're stuck with the hottest of the hotties once more?" Ellie winked suggestively, once more resting her devilish glare over Gil (or rather his big thing) of all people. When she was satisfied with her jokes, Ellie produced a stack of using her magic and said, "Well, today's announcement is that you'll be getting your team monitors for the rest of the year. After you have met with them in the courtyard, you'll be moving to the training grounds behind the Academy for a practical combat training under their instruction."
"Naturally, if you need anything, we will be there as well. Now, for what really matters", Ellie finished her announcement before clapping her hands:
"Under the threat of grievous injuries to myself by someone's shark teeth, Team One's monitors will Dana and Eos."
"Team Three will have Emilia and Lucille."
"And finally, for Team Two, Itsuko and... huh? It seems that Master forgot to add the last name here. Maybe it's meant to be a surprise or anything like this, who knows?"
"Anyway, kids, you're dismissed. Go rendevouz withy your monitors, now. If you need anything you can come to the faculty office. Now, shoo~" Ellie said after finishing all of her duties and wandering away happily to wake Aria in a very... unusual way.
